CHAPTER XVII
Nothing was said all night
Early the next morning
After a night's rest, everyone was obviously in much better spirits than before, and some even had the leisure to look to the east and wait for the sunrise.
The princess walked over to Chen Yu and asked, "Two, are you still used to being in this kind of place last night?" ”
Ning Ning shook her head, she didn't sleep comfortably at all yesterday, for her, who has been pampered since she was a child, this kind of lifestyle of using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed is really uncomfortable!
As for why the princess came to ask Chen Yu how they felt, here is a small explanation!
This is the place of trial, and the modern society belongs to two different places, not all monks live in the modern society, as I said before, some people choose to stay in the trial ground to cultivate, these people slowly become indigenous people, and Chen Yu They choose to live in the modern society belong to outsiders, but they all have the identity jade card issued by the trial!
And the people who chose to stay here were naturally different from the clothes they were wearing, seven or eight of the hundred monks who chose to participate in this mission this time were from modern society, but some of them either surpassed the Qi Gathering Realm, or they randomly teleported into a deeper place, and there was a high probability that they had died!
And now there are only two modern people in this team, Chen Yu! The rest of the people are already used to this way of life, so the princess is not worried, but if the two outsiders are not used to it, it is very likely that it will affect the performance of combat power!
Back to Chen Yu's side
Chen Yu nodded at the princess and replied, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern!" ”
Then the princess walked to the front of the crowd, looked at the faces of the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next trip will be very risky, and we may even lose our lives because of it!" So I'm going to ask if there are any others you want to quit? ”
"Your Royal Highness! We don't quit! ”
"Swear to protect Her Royal Highness the princess!"
“……”
A crowd roared, but not a single one chose to quit. This made the princess of the empty country feel a little better.
After a slight pause, the princess gave the order to go. The first destination to reach is the territory of the Qiang tribe of the Baiguan clan, that is, the tribe where the fierce man who kidnapped Ning Ning is located!
Of course, it's not to fight with people, but to borrow the road. Follow the road, walk into the woods, and you will reach your next destination - Jingzhou!
In fact, there are three ways to reach Jingzhou, one is the road that Chen Yu and the others are currently taking, the other is the big river, and the last one is the Yuyu tribe on the other side of the big river.
And the reason why the princess chose to go to the Bai Guan clan is because compared to the Bai Guan tribe, the overall strength of the Yu Guan tribe is stronger! In the event of a conflict, then you may not have a chance to escape at all!
But if there is a conflict between the Baiguan tribe, the princess thinks that she will still have a chance to fish in troubled waters and escape in the chaos under the chaos of the hundred people! As for why you don't take the waterway, it's because the sea beasts in the water won't give you a chance to escape at all, and catching it is a tear!
……
Chen Yu and the others hung slowly at the end of the line, and Ning Ning didn't understand this at first.
"Chen Yu, why do you want to follow the last of the big army?" Ning Ning asked with a wink of Carslan's big eyes
"To prevent being the first to be attacked in case of danger." Chen Yu returned
"And what if there's danger in the rear?"
"Then run!"
"What if the left and right come here?" Ning Ning asked reluctantly
"......" Chen Yu chose to refuse to answer
Ning Ning laughed at Chen Yu's reaction, and then Ning Ning straightened up, smiled at Chen Yu, and said, "I listen to you!" ”
……
As long as he crossed the stone tablet, he stepped into the territory of the Bai Guan clan. And Chen Yu's resting place last night was very close to the stone monument, so everyone entered the territory in a few minutes.
Soon everyone came to the forest, and the princess of the empty country had just finished reminding everyone to be careful.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, an arrow flew towards the face of the princess of the empty country from a distance
The princess frowned, and then dodged to the side, and the arrow flew past the princess's clothes, and when the princess had just stood still, she had not yet stood firm!
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
Three more arrows at the princess!!
The three arrows flew through the air in a zigzag shape, each aimed at the princess's vital parts.
At this time, the princess has just finished her strength, the old force has gone, the new force has not been born, and it is too late to dodge!
It's just that the princess is a princess after all, even if there is no way to get lucky immediately, she is still very calm and calm, the princess looks around her, there are other people guarding her side but she hasn't reacted yet, the princess hurriedly shouted at them
"Protect me!"
The few people next to him immediately reacted, took out their weapons and shot at the flying arrows, which saved the princess.
After the three arrows were fired, there was no movement. It's just that everyone doesn't dare to move on!
It was clear that the people in the woods were just trying to give them a warning not to set foot in this territory. Otherwise, an endless rain of arrows awaits them!
The princess was also very knowledgeable, and knew that the other party was merciful, so she didn't let everyone move on, but stood up alone and said to the woods: "The little woman has no intention of disturbing, but the little woman wants to go to Jingzhou, and the sea route to Jingzhou is dangerous, so she can only take the land. I'm sorry for me to pass! ”
“……”
There was no response in the woods, and the princess did not move.
Half an hour later
"Accurate!"
A deep, old voice rang out from the depths of the woods. The sound was so loud that it even produced a sound wave that continued to reverberate through the trees.
The princess was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you senior!" ”
Then the princess turned to the group and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, although the Bai Guan clan has allowed us to take advantage of the way, the real danger has just begun! ”
"Why did Her Highness the Princess say this?" Someone asked suspiciously after hearing the princess's words.
The princess did not get angry when she heard this, but explained to everyone very patiently: "Maybe everyone thinks that the road ahead is a safe road, right? ”
Everyone said yes, the princess nodded, and continued: "The next road is not easy to walk, there will be countless poisonous insects and beasts in this forest in front of you!" ”
The others immediately shuddered when they heard this, those poisonous insects and beasts were the most dangerous existence for their monks! Because once the monks are poisoned by those poisons, then the energy they have cultivated will be suppressed! Unless it is a profound skill that can use more energy to fight against toxins, otherwise you will basically have to wait for death!
The princess, however, did not pause, and continued: "When we go out of the woods, there will be a safe path, and then we will enter a mountain range! Climb over that mountain to really get to our destination! ”
The princess told all the roads and dangers from the stele to Jingzhou in one breath, and everyone was sometimes nervous, sometimes relaxed, and suddenly sweating.
Chen Yu's face didn't change much after listening to the princess's narration, but Ning Ning beside him couldn't do it!
Ning Ning couldn't listen to the princess's description of the poisonous insects and beasts in the woods, but she saw Ning Ning closing her eyes tightly and covering her ears with her hands, as if she didn't want the slightest sound to reach her ears.
Chen Yu couldn't cry or laugh while watching from the side, so he had to speak: "It's okay, those so-called poisonous insects are centipede scorpions or something, but they are 'bigger' than ours!" ”
Chen Yu deliberately said that the big characters were particularly heavy, but Ning Ning didn't care, in her cognition, how big can animals like centipedes and scorpions be? Therefore, Ning Ning was not so afraid!
After that, the princess crackled and said a lot of morale-boosting and uplifting words, which made Chen Yu feel a little sleepy when he listened, and after another quarter of an hour, the princess stopped talking and ordered to pull out.
……
Just now, the elder of the Bai Guan clan spoke, and this time Chen Yu and the others entered the woods without hindering them.
It's not a matter of just entering the woods, because this is mostly the living area of the Bai Guan clan, so it's relatively safe here, but as the team continues to go deeper, people are more and more aware that something is wrong!
Some people faint while walking!
Some people vomit as they walk!
Some even died directly!
Someone kept having an accident in the advancing ranks, and the dead people just took away the valuable things on their bodies, and the corpses were dug and buried at will, but the wounded had no way to throw them away! Seeing this, the princess had to order the team to be corrected in place, and she led someone to find out why.
The princess took some people to probe the wounded one by one, and after a closer look, there was nothing special about the dozen or so wounded, which made the princess very puzzled.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed guy exclaimed: "Your Royal Highness Princess! Come and see here! ”
When the princess heard this, she quickly came to the man's side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, look here!" The man said, pointing to the heel of one of the wounded
When the princess looked closely, she found a very small black spot on the man's heel! The location of this black spot is particularly hidden, if it weren't for the fact that this wounded person accidentally lost his foot clothes, then this small black spot would not have been discovered at all!
The princess immediately became uncalm, and ordered the people next to her: "Hurry up and check the heels of the other wounded!" See if there are any of the same black spots! ”
"Yes!"
……
After some time, the men returned to the princess and reported: "Your Highness the princess, those wounded have this black spot on their heels!" ”
The princess's face instantly turned pale when she heard this, and her words showed panic!
"It's... It's a heel! The princess screamed.
The others didn't know why, and thought that the princess was very timid. And Chen Yu, who was in the distance, frowned when he heard the princess's scream, and secretly said in his heart.
……
